Moxie Girl Musings: a widow, an empty-nester, an entrepreneur, a woman starting life over from square one

About Moxie Girl Musings

Moxie Girl Musings is about starting over from square one after tragedy impacted my young family. It's filled with stories of triumph, struggle, snafus, hopes, and dreams. Sometimes there will be features from other writers that I like and every so often I'll include an original short story, but normally I simply write what's on my mind at the time. Welcome to my unfiltered true-life story as I figure out this thing called life. http://www.amberleaeaston.com

Second Chance at a Once in a Lifetime #Romance #ScintillatingSunday

She left him for all the wrong reasons that she once believed were right...

A chance reunion sparks the love that never stopped beating in her heart...

But will she get her second chance when everyone in their lives conspires to keep them apart?

Dancing Barefoot

Excerpt...

He
slammed his hand against the canvas, knocking it to the floor behind her.“You just left. One day we’re living
together, talking about creating a future, and then you disappeared.”

Her
lungs deflated like air from a balloon. Breathing ceased. "I needed to
come back here to—”

“To
be safe? To do the right thing?” He had her backed against the easel. “You
vanished.”

“You
had my address. I didn’t disappear.”

“You
let me go without a word.”

“I
said I was sorry.” Every inch of her quaked with restrained emotion.“Leave now. Go. Good luck with your exhibit,
with your life, all of it. Just get the hell out of my home.”

“Doesn’t
that show me how much you really do
care?” She lifted her chin, determined not to cry.

A
fraction of an inch separated their bodies. She dragged her gaze over the
opened buttons of his shirt, over his neck, over his lips until resting on the
deep green of his eyes. Damn, the man rocked the word 'sexy'.

From the back cover...

Naked photographs plastered on a book cover remind Jessica
Moriarty that the past isn't as dead as she'd assumed. Her carefully
constructed life as an architect on the fast track to partnership is threatened
by a love she'd abandoned five years ago when responsibilities had trumped
dreams.

World-renowned photographer, Jacques Sinclair, could have
chosen anywhere in the world for his book signing and photography exhibit, but
he'd come to Boston to shake things up. He wanted answers, but they aren't what
he expected.

Reunions aren't always happy—sometimes they stir up unwanted
pain and forgotten passion. As Jacques and Jessica stumble their way back to
one another for a second chance at love, they're ensnared in a web of
conspiracy, manipulation, and sabotage designed to keep them apart. Will they
be able to break free of the ties that bind them to seize the love of a
lifetime? Or will the pressure to conform rip them apart forever?

**This is the conclusion of the two part Dancing Barefoot
series and can be read as a stand-alone. However, to get the full impact of the
love story, the author recommends reading book one, In Between.**

It
was refreshingly honest, brutally tragic, and at times lyrical in it's flow.
Their connection was so intense that as I read it, I was like this absolutely
cannot survive. Love this intense and in your face has a slow burn to it, and
will torch everything in i's path until it is stamped out...There was nothing
contrived about it. I felt like I was literally a fly on the wall and this was
happening in reality and not fiction land. I liked them both, probably one of
the best couples I have ever read

"Conflicting
emotions and insurmountable chemistry cause both of them to reassess the past,
their current lives and priorities. Easton shows the magnetic and hypnotic effect
of physical and emotional attraction very well and the gradual crumbling of
outer facades and deep inner resolve. This is a romantic fantasy written in a
convincing and heart warming manner and with enough complications thrown in to
make for a very entertaining and gripping read."

"Excitement,
intrigue, twists and turns! Dancing Barefoot has it all. Very hard to put
down."
